PRIMARY FUNCTIONS:
Counseling is a process of helping people by assisting them in making decisions and changing behaviors. The school counselor works with and is available to all students, school staff, families and members of the community as an integral part of the education program. The school counseling program promotes school success through a focus on the following:
Academic Achievement/Development
Career Development
Personal/Social Development
Systems Support
The high school counselor aims to provide a comprehensive, developmental program for students 9-12. The counselor structures activities to meet the needs of students; consults with teachers, staff and parents to enhance their effectiveness in helping students; and works in harmony with school staff to promote the total high school program.
Ultimately, the school counseling program enables students to achieve success in school and to develop into contributing members of society.
